~Merry Christmas Eve to everyone, lights are shining bright!~

Merry Christmas Eve my friends,

I thought I would share not only a Christmas Project with you
but also this is our first owned home in Tennessee.That was a huge step for us this year and we love our cozy little country home.
It is such a nice feeling to go home knowing it's yours.
We worked so hard for it and it's nice to know we did something
good with all that time and hard work and saving we did, it did not all go to waste.
This year has been such a blessing.
Though we just moved in, I had
my boys and hubby outside hanging lights!

They are so good to me! I am so blessed to have
a husband and family who love and respect me.

OK on to Crafty goodness!
I made this project yesterday,
I have had it in the works for 2 weeks but never finished it!
This is handmade Garland, that is a card hanger for your wall at Christmas,
you could use it on the tree with cards OR on the wall with cards!
I love how versatile Imaginisce Polar Expressions line is!
~Merry Christmas to you~
~I would love to see if you make some garland!~
~Have a beautiful day~

Good afternoon!
I am a day late but I finally got my Treasured Scrapbooking DT work

I want her to be able to look at it and remember that she is strong.

This was not the usual Christmas kit but I found some fun uses for it!

I love loved the pearls!

~A very Manly Thursday! hehe...~

Good morning, my crafty friends!
I am dragging today...seems my son was contagious LOL
But it's a quiet day so it should be a good day.

Here is my project for today...simple, but heartfelt.
My husband has the best boss, he paid out of his own pocket
for 2 men to come and move us into our new home.
So of course hubby asked me to make him a card!
Well...I just have to say, I am making him an awful lot of cards! LOL
He is a generous man...
This time I wanted the card to be very manly...
so I got out the brown Bazzill, cardboard, and Hambly!

I layered the wood grain Hambly onto the stripped cardboard so the card
is very thick and masculine, it has some weight to it.

Hubby was happy, and for not being a card maker, so am I!

Also I finished a cute project for Purple Cows, can you just says RECIPE?!
and Laminator??!~ Very fun project coming up, and very useful!
OK I am off to lunch with some girlfriends today!
For everyone who prayed and asked, Gage is doing much better,
he is back to school today and seemingly better.
I appreciate your concern, it really helps to have friends to lean on.
That boy will be the death of me! :)

~Ok off to dry my hair and take some medicine!~
~Have a great Thursday!~
Be sure to stop by tomorrow for a RAK!!!!
